gence. Principal Williams told how
his education was begun when he came
to the asylum last fall. At first
various articles were marked with
their names in raised letters. as chat,
"ball," etc., and he soon learned to
pick out corresponding letters when
one of these articles was put In his
hand. They supposed that he asso.
ciated the letters and the articles, but
after five weeks were satisfied this
was not the case; that oil
he recognized was the similar
| ity of the letters themselves. Then all
at once he seized the idea Of corre-
| spondence between the articles them.
selves and the names that represented
them. Then he began to make great
progress Now he has q vocabulary OF
over three hundred words, which he
uses with understanding. He writes
them legibly, spells them on his fin.
gers with wonderful rapidity, and
makes the corresponding signs. He
converses by signs with the other
pupils, among whom he is pet
and goes all about the building. not
showing clumsiness. never making
mistake.
Now, for one or two illustrations on,
of the many that were afforded Of
what he can do, Mr. Williams stood
by him and spelled on his fingers: &c
to the window The boys hand was
against that of Mr.. Williams, and he
recognized by feeling each letter as &
was formed. Instantly he repeated thu
order and then walked to the window
In the same way he was told to open
and shut it, to bring water from glass
on the table, to break stick that lay
there, and many other things.
Then he repeated in signs sen.
fences that were spelled tic
him. containing adjectives and
transitive and intransitive verbs, the
translation into signs following in.

fences Then he was given sentences
printed in raised letters on slips OF
cardboard. His fingers moved over
the letters with astonishing speed, and
as soon as he reached the end he spell.
ed the sentences ON his fingers, letter
by letter, and then gave it again in
the sign language, accurately, grace.
fully and promptly. He was given
detached words printed in raised let.
tiers, and arranged these into sem
fences, hardly ever making a mistake
in construction. He also writes leg.
IDLY such words as he has learned.
The advance that he has made in these
few months is simply astonishing His
direct instruction has been chiefly by
Miss Flora Noyes, of Franklin. N. H..
a graduate of the asylum two years
ago. 1t is impossible in few sem
fences to give any adequate idea Of
what has been accomplished in break

of life. The exposures of middle life
are due mainly to excesses-in food.
pleasure. care and anxiety, or in work
of brain or muscle. There ought to be
few deaths within this period.
But youth, including childhood and
infancy, has more liabilities than both
the above periods combined. Within
it much more than half the race die.
Even in some communities where the
laws Of health are best understood,
one-thir1 of all who are born fail to
pass their fifth year Much Of this
mortality, however is due, not so much
to the necessary fatality Of childish dis

and nurses and to inherited weakness.
